I was able to interview UYU | Oil King at Versus Fighting 2018 in Birmingham, UK. Having previously met him at Saigon Cup 2018 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. This time I managed to get some time to talk Street Fighter. Thank you again to the UYU team for allowing me to do this and of course to UYU | Oil King himself. An extremely humble and talented player.

At Saigon Cup 2018, I was able to talk fighting games with the one and only Core-A Gaming. His insight and vast bank of knowledge on all fighting games really allowed me to piece together some concepts and interesting ideas and theories. Not only was did he explain the ins and outs of the meta that was being played out on screen in front of me, he was also willing to help me translate Jeondding’s interview. A talented and passionate member of the FGC, it was a pleasure to have interviewed him.

When learning a new character in Tekken you will most likely be faced with a plethora of different obstacles and reasons why you shouldn't. This handy guide will alleviate some of that unnecessary pressure and help you learn a character in the right way. We have also thought of players who simply want to have and included in this guide is the stopping point as well as the extra steps that are required to take a character to the next level.

During Saigon Cup 2018 I was able to spend some time with FGC stars such as JeonDDing, NL and Core-A Gaming. I got some really functional insight into how they approach games. Being able to simply talk to these three about different games and concepts within the FGC has changed my current understanding of fighting games. Being a Tekken 7 competitor I am always searching for ways to reach that next level, I am extremely grateful for the time these three have given me as well as the insight that was provided. Here are some of the questions I asked JeonDDing leading up to Saigon Cup 2018. I would like to extend some sincere gratitude towards Core-A Gaming for translating JeonDDings answers into English. Without him, I would not have been able to write this.

The U.S Army is trying it’s hand in esports with over 8 bases competing in a Street Fighter 5 tournament. This 'first of its kind' tournament is set to be live streamed and allows any active-duty service members to compete.

Following the results of the first stop of 2018’s Tekken World Tour event, we saw ROX | KNEE take the win using an unlikely character. We haven’t seen Knee use ‘Devil Jin’ at a high level since Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and it has been almost forever since we have seen him win with ‘Devil Jin’. Perhaps Knee was inspired by his former teammate UYU | QUDANS or perhaps he just decided to adopt a new character for recent tournaments. Either way there were some very significant differences in playstyle between Knee and Qudans.

After waiting for what seemed like an eternity for the Final Fantasy XV announcements to finish, we were greeted with some in game footage of Noctis and a showcase of some of his moves that have not been previously seen.
